Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 49
Lin's health is not good, she was detained for several months without going out the door, as if isolated from the world, finally someone came to knock on the door, quickly walked out of the bedroom, opened the door without asking who it was.

The young woman was all smiles, but she just looked at Mrs. Lin's sick face, fearing that her illness would pass, she didn't dare to get close, so she kept a certain distance, and asked, "Is this Mrs. Qu Xiucai's mother-in-law?"

Mrs. Lin was so elated when she was called "Mrs. Qu Xiucai's mother-in-law, Mrs. Qu", she forgot to be jealous of young women's rich and noble clothes, and nodded her head three times, wishing to lift Qu Duo's scholar's documents to her forehead.

The young woman said happily: "Madam, I am Liu Xiniang from the county, and I am here to tell you a happy event."

Xi Niang is a matchmaker.

Lin asked in confusion, "What kind of happy event?"

Liu Xiniang stretched out her hand and pointed inward, which meant that the main room was talking.Don't let too many people know about the unfinished wedding, this is Xi Niang's rule.

Lin just wanted these uneducated women in the village to see her majestic side as a scholar, and refused to let Liu Xiniang in.

Liu Xiniang had never seen anyone before, and she could see at a glance that Lin's vanity would be greedy for money, so she lowered her voice and said, "I was ordered by the rich businessman in the county to come here to marry Qu Xiucai. For the marriage, the woman’s dowry is a full 300 taels of silver.”

When Lin heard the 300 taels of silver, she was so happy that she almost fainted. She looked around and saw that no one was standing in the neighbors except the old patriarch's house. Hearing 300 taels of silver, she turned around and told Qu Kuaishou and his wife, so that she would not get any silver, so she quickly welcomed Liu Xiniang into the door.

After a while, Liu Xiniang was sent out by the excited Lin with a happy face, and Yuan Zi left in a small sedan chair.

Qu's went to the county and was not at home, so He stayed at Li's house without going out.

Li Jingjing took Wanglian and Wangyue out to play, and met two women who were joking with her.

"Sister Jing, your uncle and grandpa's family is about to add another population!"

"Sister Jing, will your uncle and grandpa serve wine twice, or will the wine be served once?"

Li Jingjing pouted and shook her head pretending to be naive, and asked, "What kind of people are you adding?"

"Go and ask your cousin, she just met Liu Xiniang, a big shot in the county."

"Liu Xiniang is a matchmaker. If she comes to your uncle's grandpa's house to propose marriage, next time she will have to exchange Geng Tie and file the marriage with the government."

Li Jingjing's first thought was that Mrs. Lin would get a flat wife for Qu Duo, so she hurried home and told Mrs. He who was preparing dinner in the kitchen.

He's complexion changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "Sister Jing, I am writing a letter, please ask Wanglian or Wangyue to go to the county academy and hand over the letter to your uncles and grandparents, so that they can write a letter no matter what. Hurry back."

Now Lin's thinking is different from that of normal people.

She couldn't reason with Lin at all, so she had to call Qu Kuaishou and his wife back to stop her.

In the middle of the night, Qu Kuaishou and his wife, Qu Jiujiu, Qu Shi and Wang Lian came back in a carriage hired for [-] steel dollars, as if rushing to reincarnate.

Qu Kuaishou was afraid of disturbing the good dreams of the people, so the carriage stopped at the head of the village before entering the village.

The door of Qu's house was closed tightly, and Qu Kuai slammed on the door vigorously, but Lin didn't open the door for a long time. Everyone was anxious, angry and worried.

Qu Kuai climbed over the wall and opened the door.

Qu Jiujiu's face was ashen, and he quickly walked into the bedroom. In the dark, he pulled Lin Shi who was sleeping like a dead pig out of the quilt, and asked, "What kind of marriage did you agree to when you met Liu Xiniang today?"

Mrs. Lin was dreaming of sleeping in vain money, and replied in a daze: "I am the mother of a scholar and a senior official. I will marry my scholar's son an ordinary wife. I will get 300 taels of silver, and I will let Xiao Deng That bitch can't live a good life with his son as the most important thing."

"You dare to make up your own mind about Duoyazi's marriage without asking me, how courageous! Your daughter-in-law has just given birth to a good grandson for you, and you are going to embarrass her and call her a bitch?" Qu Jiujiu was furious. He slapped Lin's face hard twice, knocking her out of sleep until she passed out.

He threw Lin's light body on the bed, and when he got out of the bedroom, he saw his parents and aunt standing outside the door looking dumb, obviously they had heard Lin's words.

He finally said out loud what he had pondered several times, "Father, mother, my son is going to divorce this poisonous woman!"

Qu Kuaishou was so angry by Lin that he didn't know what to say, so he calmed down and said, "You divorced her, she is also the mother of many children."

Qu Jiujiu said: "Father, I divorced her and told the outside world that she was crazy. She is not qualified to marry Duo Yazi as an ordinary wife and concubine."

Qu Kuai shook his head and said, "You son of a bitch will have to take the Juren examination in two years' time. You can't have an abandoned mother."

He didn't say anything after that.Lin didn't rest all day long, but she committed suicide when she was sent to the temple by the Qu family. If she was really divorced, she would definitely crash to death at the gate of the Qu family.

If such a tragedy happened to the Qu family, their reputation would be ruined, and the government examiners would definitely not allow Qu Jiujiu and his son to pass the exam.

Qu's face was exhausted. Seeing that Deng's body was shaking and she was about to faint, she supported her and said to Qu Kuaishou and his son, "Let's talk in the main room first."

The next day was yesterday at this time again, Liu Xiniang arrived at Qu's house in a small sedan chair, got out of the sedan chair holding a small red box in both hands, saw the door was open, guessed that Mrs. Lin was in a hurry, smiled and said loudly: "Old madam , I’m here, bringing you all the joy and good things.”

Deng came out from inside and asked, "Are you Liu Xiniang?"

Liu Xiniang saw that the woman's spirit was better than that of Lin's, and her age was about the same as Lin's. Could it be that she was a relative of the Qu family, she smiled and replied, "That's right. Are you a relative of the old lady?"

Deng said firmly: "There is no old lady in my family, there is only one old woman, and that is me."

Liu Xiniang looked suspiciously.

Qu Kuaishou walked out of the main room quickly, mighty and powerful, and closed the door with a bang, which startled Liu Xiniang, and held the small brocade box tightly with both hands.

Qu Kuaishou simply said it all, and said seriously: "I am Qu Fu, the head of this family, and she is my guest, Mrs. Deng, the head of the Qu family. Our son Qu Jiujiu and grandson Qu Duo are high school students this year. Yesterday What you are seeing is our daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin is crazy, and she can't count."

Liu Xiniang's surprised lips opened into a "○" shape, and after a long while, she said, "I called the old lady several times yesterday, but Mrs. Lin didn't make any excuses. I thought she was the wife of a senior official named Qu Changjiu."

Qu Kuaishou and Deng Shi looked at each other.

Qu Jiujiu came out of the study, stood under the osmanthus tree, and asked, "Who did you come to my house to propose marriage to?"

Liu Xiniang looked flustered, but she still said slowly: "I am here to propose marriage on behalf of Miss Ding, the daughter of a rich businessman in the county seat, and the man I propose is the talented Qu Changjiu scholar."
